I thought I purchased the cardstock you linked... But I guess you never know with Amazon. 🤔. My daughter's book didn't split so maybe I was too heavy handed with the bone folder. 😂

Utter newbie here, but my daughters (11 & 13) and I (46) are starting books for our upcoming spring break. 

Quick question - is it common for the paper edges at the spine to split?  (The 80# cardstock).  Am I using too much force to bend the cover of the album? not enough force?  or is it a "calm down newbie that's what happens" thing?

Also - I have a hard time following a tutorial exactly, so I love that I can watch a few and add bits and pieces from one album/folio into another.  I'm totally geeking out right now.
